The full UK state pension is currently worth £10,600 a year - here is how to make sure you can get as much as possible.
The state pension is currently paid to you when you turn 66 and many Brits will be relying on this as a guaranteed income when they reach retirement age.
To get the full state pension you need to have 35 full qualifying years of National Insurance Contributions (NICs) - you need 10 years to qualify for any state pension at all.
